So I have installed a good bit of my security system. In the process I have had to open a few holes in the wall of our Garage. I am not ready yet to purchase the needed items to sense and control the GDO however I would like to pre-wire it so that I can close up the holes in the wall. I have to GDOs and will connect everything to an ELK M1G. What wiring should I run? 22/2 wire to each door where I plan to install the sensors? and 22/2 to each opener?
I was actually thinking about running CAT6 to each opener. Then run 22/2 from the door sensors to the opener. The CAT6 could then carry the sensor wire and the output wire, this way I only have to run 2 wires up from the basement into the garage ceiling instead of 4. Plus I do not have 22/2 wire right now but have a bunch of CAT6.
Does this sound like a decent plan? Do you guys have anything else to suggest?
Thanks
